From A Small Town Girl To A Country Diva .
Everyone knows Dolly Parton.
A great Country Singer, Actress, Songwriter etc.
Ms. Parton was one of 12 siblings, was 'dirt poor' as how she decribed her family when she was young.
But nobody thought that she would grow up and fill the seats of concert halls.
I've heard about Dolly Parton when I was a young boy.
But I've never heard her voice before.
The first time I've ever heard a Dolly song was 'Coat of Many Colors', on YouTube, with Shania Twain.
From then on, I wanted more of Dolly's songs, which lead me to hits such as 'Jolene', 'I Will Always Love You'; which is totally different from Whitney Houston's.
Dolly Parton never thought she'll get this far.
Soon, she also recorded an album called Trio featuring Emmylou Harris and Linda Rostandt.
Later, recorded an album with Country Divas, Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette called the Honky Tonk Angels.
She's also dubbed Country music's best storyteller, telling stories about her childhood and life through her songs.
From the 1960s till the 1990s, Dolly Parton has already become a international icon.
People say it's her look, others say it's her chest.
But no doubt, this small town girl has turned into a diva.
She received 25 RIAA certified Gold, Platinum and Multi-Platinum records.
Has 26 songs that reached Country Billboard's no. 1 position.
Has 41 career top 10 country albums and
110 career charted singles for the past 40 years.
Received 7 Grammies and had 42 nominations
Won 3 AMAs and had 18 nominations and
Won 10 CMA awards and had 39 nominations.
She's only one out of 5 other female artistes including Reba McEntire, Barbara Mandrell, Shania Twain and Loretta Lynn to win the title of CMA's 'Entertainer of the Year'.
She was also awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1984 and
In 1999, she received Country's highest honor of being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
In 2003, she's honored with a tribute album called Just Because I'm a Woman: Songs of Dolly Parton and
On Dec 3, 2006 she was honored by the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for her lifetime countribution to the arts.
Ms. Dolly Parton is an insipration to us all and if you wanna be like her,
You gotta work long and hard.

Ended So Soon ...
After 4 days, Emerge! 07 finally ended yesterday and whoa! it ended with a blast! Great service indeed!
After it ended Kris and her CG went off for their supper but me and weelee went home instead.
Haha very tired. I've been like on the run this few days. So quite tired lahs.
What Happened On Saturday...
Saturday was like the ultimate test for my legs.
I stood on the MRT from Tampines to Bukit Batok and the journey was close to 2 hours.
When I thought I could sit, I've already reached...grrr.
So i reached there at about 4.
Then met up with Jean and went to Unc Colin's house for a swim with dear Vicki and Julia!
Then after that had this little billard game that I managed to sink at least a few balls.
I consider that a great miracle indeed. =D
Had a small Boggle game and had great food.
Fell in love with cheesecakes as well.
Blowing The Trumpet of God.
When I went to CH, I understood who God really is.
He's not just a great and mighty lord sitting on a throne all the way in heaven.
He's a father, a friend. He sent his only son, Jesus Christ to die for us, in atonement for our sins, something we can never do.
I believe that every church is the same.
We all love God.
Be it we're from CH or from Praise EFC or from LE.
We're all in honor of our God.
I can't express the joy I felt when I was praising Him.
I wanted to cry and yet I wanted to smile.
I was happy yet sad.
I know that God is great.
I'm living by faith and I know from the bottom of my heart that our God is the most almighty, great, wonderful, loving God we've ever known.
We love you God.
Hallelujah.
Amen.
